The Lord Mayor will also be an Alderman literally, elder man , whose Court oversees the creation and conduct of the Livery Companies, as explained above. The Livery Companies also play a prominent role in many great occasions. The Livery Companies and the City of London have enjoyed a long, close and extremely effective working partnership, sharing objectives, supporting excellence and together promoting the Square Mile.
This partnership is fostered through a dedicated committee, the Livery Committee, which strengthens these ties as well as constantly seeking new ways to promote joint initiatives for the future.

Imagine the clauses required to preserve the status of the Corporation. Domestic and foreign banks will be permitted to vote as if they were human beings, and their votes will outnumber those cast by real people. Its elected officials will be chosen from people deemed acceptable by a group of medieval guilds …".
The Corporation's privileges could not withstand such public scrutiny. This, perhaps, is one of the reasons why a written constitution in the United Kingdom remains a distant dream. Its power also helps to explain why regulation of the banks is scarcely better than it was before the crash, why there are no effective curbs on executive pay and bonuses and why successive governments fail to act against the UK's dependent tax havens.
